Basement Remodel in Belvedere Park

Our Basement Remodel service helps you redefine your lower level. We design these spaces to be comfortable, functional, and personal to the people who live in them.

What we do

Our process begins with a design consultation to understand your goals for the space. We then present your design, followed by construction documents that include drawings and specifications. Material selections are made for all finishes and fixtures. We conduct jobsite inspections to ensure the design is executed as planned, and we oversee the finishing touches.

Who it suits

This service is ideal for homes in Chicago, Southwest Michigan, and Atlanta. It suits older bungalows, mid-century ranches, or newer construction seeking additional living areas. We design basements for various uses, from family rooms to guest suites.

In Belvedere Park

Homes in Belvedere Park

Many homes in Belvedere Park are 1950s and 1960s ranch-style houses in neighborhoods like Belvedere Park Manor and Columbia Heights. These often feature smaller, enclosed kitchens that homeowners bring to us for Kitchen Design. The 1970s and 1980s two-story homes in subdivisions off Memorial Drive frequently have primary bathrooms with dated finishes and layouts, which we address with Bathroom Design. We also see 1990s traditional homes in areas like Belvedere Park Estates with living spaces that benefit from Furnishing & Styling.

What homeowners in Belvedere Park ask for

Homeowners in Belvedere Park often seek Kitchen Design to update their 1950s and 1960s ranch kitchens, which typically have closed-off layouts. We frequently work on Bathroom Design for 1970s and 1980s homes, addressing small, separate primary bathroom spaces. Full-Home Design projects are common for those looking to refresh their entire 1990s traditional homes, including Living Space and Furnishing & Styling.

Basement Remodel work from the studio

About the studio

Two sisters, one studio

Jennifer Peterson founded J. Peterson Design in 2008 and leads our work in Chicago and Southwest Michigan. Her sister, Jill Kearns, leads the Atlanta studio. Together, we design homes that feel considered and beautiful, but also comfortable, functional, and personal to the people who live in them.

Although we work in different cities, we operate as one studio. We talk through plans, share ideas, question each other, and bring another experienced set of eyes to the decisions that matter. Being sisters makes that collaboration especially natural — there is a shorthand, an honesty, and a shared standard that has been there long before the studio.
